| User | Magnolia Steele | | Topic | Survial Of The Fit | | Message | Most of us have heard the term of "Surival of the fittest" before in our science class. If this was true once before. Can it happen again? And should man enforce this line of thought as a means to improve society? Hypothetically, if we as a people did mandate this belief, who would be considered fit and unfit? How do you measure ones potential? I personally don’t believe there is a way to judge who is fit to live life fully and with potential and who is not. Yes we live in a dog eat dog world, but to inforce this as a policy is no different from Hilter. What are your thoughts on this? |

| User | ghostknight | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | that sounds pretty true. we’re just glorified animals. |
| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | haha, I’m dead then, lol, I follow, no lead, my own pack |
| User | Magnolia Steele | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I’m with Toxic. We all know deep down either keep up with the pack or die where you stand now. We have a need to protect ourselves and love ones and we have the inner need to press on and not be pushed around. That is why we vie for promotions, excell in school, and beautify ourselves. All these things take you further up the latter of sucess in life. And hopefully keep you there. The more I think about it...my god we model our lives after the wild! lol.

| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I concur |
| User | ghostknight | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | so which makes us more human, the desire to love, or the desire to conquer? i guess the answer could be both, but if we are both by natural evolution, that seems like quite a contradiction... |
| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Instinct, everyone wants to be "top-dog" |
| User | ghostknight | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | i wonder, is the desire to be naturally selective part of our own nature, or is it taught to us by others and through the physical world? |
| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Yupp |
| User | Magnolia Steele | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Yup...and it breeds for fiecer attitudes for endurance so as to not get push around and become top dog. It happens all the time...I’m just seeing that in take forms in many ways.

| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Even in day-to-day society it’s the survial of the fittest. That doesn’t just mean cave man fighting cave man over raw meat, lol, sorry, funny picture. To me survival of the fittest can be high school hiarchy. The underdogs get chewed out, slammed into lockers, while the popular people remain on top. Survival of the fittest, the strongest soul wins.... |
| User | Magnolia Steele | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | In odd ways natural selection take place among humans. It’s not like we are in the wild and the weak get left behind, but rather the weak are overlooked. The poor is what comes to my mind. Take hurricane Katrina, if that was not a blatant case of natural selection I don’t know what esle is. Even among the poor, there was a fight for survival. There will always be a class of people, regardless of race and intelligence, that will be left behind. The only difference is with animals and us is we live in homes and can talk.

| User | insphered soul | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | true.......but i dont believe that we are better than nature.
natural selection has its ups and downs. asking me to name them would be like asking me to do a backflip: i can’t do it. i dont have any evidence to support what i believe, but its just what i think |
| User | insphered soul | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | oh yeah, kinda forgot that one....................
i believe that natural selection isn’t perfect or anything like that. its not perfected.....
wait.....does can it affect humans too or just animals? |
| User | insphered soul | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | natural selection? please explain again |
| User | ghostknight | 2006-02-24 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | so back to the question, then. is it logical to wonder if ’natural selection’ is as flawed as its outcomes? and if it is, in what sense might it be considered ’perfected’?
poor dodo birds. never had a chance. |
